[Bug 788082] Re: Boot screen resolution changes after graphic update

[Timo Aaltonen]

it just means that with fglrx installed you get no kernel modesetting
(KMS) goodness. Not much we can do about it though.

** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => fglrx-installer (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

Title:
  Boot screen resolution changes after graphic update

Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  The resolution of the boot screen is changed and sometimes it doesn't appear at all; but instead lines of codes appear. 
  I have also filed a brain storm idea in here : <http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/27990/>
